Mu Zhan woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes abruptly. As far as he could see, everything was dim and he couldn't see things clearly. Only the dim moonlight outside the window was dimly lit.

But the familiar environment and the sense of reality around him gave him a sigh of relief.

It was just a dream.

Just thinking about this, he felt a strange touch on his hand, and the fluffy fluff came over, soft, and obviously warm and soft, like a small animal, and rubbed the back of his hand twice. .

Mu Zhan froze for a second, and for a second he remembered those little dumplings sticking beside him in the dream, rubbing their heads, crying and calling his father. Not one or two, but a group surrounding him.

This time, as if he was still in a dream, he didn't come out.

Until the soft and vague dreaming sound came.

Mu Zhan looked down and found that it was Wen Mingyu who curled up to sleep, slept restlessly, twisted and turned, and ran to his side. At this moment, the rabbit ears were constantly rubbing against the back of his hand, making it ticklish, as if not only touching the back of his hand, but also scratching his heart.

Mu Zhan looked down, using the moonlight, his eyes slowly wandered over Wen Mingyu's sleeping face, eyebrows, nose, ears, and finally his lips.

Fresh and red, slightly open, like blooming petals, waiting to be picked.

Mu Zhan stared at it for a while, his eyes darkened.

In the dark, it is easiest to draw out the thoughts hidden deep in people's hearts, indulge them, and breed wantonly, like invisible vines spreading, wrapping Wen Mingyu tightly, completely shackles it, and completely controls it.

Mu Zhan didn't restrain himself very much in the daytime, and naturally even less so at night. He conformed to the desire in his heart, reached out and touched Wen Mingyu's face, pressed his fingertips on his soft lips, and pressed a small depression with a little force.

Mu Zhan stared at him with heavy eyes, and slowly rubbed his fingertips on his lips, making the rosy redness deeper.

In his sleep, Wen Mingyu seemed to feel something, suddenly opened his mouth and took a bite, thinking it was something delicious, he nibbled a few times with great interest, but found that there was no taste, so he frowned and vomited in disgust. come out.

Mu Zhan's fingers were wet, and the plump lips were also glowing with water, and when his hand was pulled away, there was still a thin silk thread attached to it.

Wen Mingyu didn't feel anything, she pursed her lips unconsciously, and fell asleep.

And the one who was awake was tormented.

After sitting alone in the dark for an unknown amount of time, he lay down and barely fell asleep.

In the morning, the palace servants waited on them to wash and change their clothes.

Ichinomiya asked carefully, what to do with the clothes on the bed and whether to change them. The words were directed at Wen Mingyu, but they were obviously asking Mu Zhan, after all, the clothes belonged to Mu Zhan. It was the rabbit nest that Wen Mingyu piled up with his clothes.

It was an instinct for false pregnancy at the time, and now that it has passed, there is no need for it. And when Wen Mingyu saw this nest now, she felt a sense of shame in the face of black history, and she thought of the stupid things she did in front of her, wanting to bang her head against the wall.

Therefore, even if this nest was very suitable for him and he could sleep comfortably, he still said decisively: "I don't need it, just put it away.

" : "Wait, you all retire first." The

palace servants immediately obeyed and resigned respectfully, and soon only the two of them were left alone.

Mu Zhan looked at Wen Mingyu and provoked an ambiguous smile, "I used to be a spoiled brat and wanted to borrow you alone, but now I say no to it, what do you think it is?"

Wen Mingyu didn't quite understand it, didn't she return it ? Good thing, why does Mu Zhan look unhappy?

He was a little at a loss, "In the situation like the other day, I couldn't sleep without holding your Majesty's clothes. There is really no way. What I did is really wrong, why don't I wash these clothes before returning them? Buy two more for His Majesty. new?"

But of course, what he bought must be incomparable to the workmanship of the fabric Mu Zhan wears.

Unexpectedly, when Mu Zhan heard the words, he nodded, indicating that he could accept it, and said, "You don't need to wash, but the clothes you buy must be carefully selected, and you are not allowed to buy them casually."

Wen Mingyu nodded without hesitation, just before he When he made some money by selling phone books, he thought about buying something to give to Mu Zhan. But because he didn't know what to buy, he thought about it for a long time, and finally went to Yingxianlou for dinner with his classmates last time. On the way back, he picked a gift, but then a series of false pregnancy happened, which made people very uncomfortable. After being shocked and nervous, Mu Zhan didn't seem to be in a good mood, and his own mood was fluctuating.

Wen Mingyu didn't take out the gift, but kept it well.

This time, it seems that they can be sent out together. He bought a belt, and he saw it at first glance because he immediately thought of Mu Zhan when he saw it. He thought that if it was put on him, it would definitely fit and look good, so he bought it.

After breakfast, Wen Mingyu set off for Guozijian.

Obviously it was only a day off, but when Wen Mingyu came back to class, it felt like a lifetime away. The difference is probably that, before the holiday, he thought he was carrying a cub and would give birth in a few months. He was worried about how to be a father. After the holiday, he was falsely pregnant and lonely. To make people doubt life.

He sat in front of the desk and listened carefully to the doctor's lecture.

Not long after, the doctor called a supervisor to answer the question. He confidently expressed his thoughts. The doctor didn't say anything, but he could see that he was not very satisfied. Then, he ordered another supervisor, which happened to be. It's called Chu Shuli.

Chu Shuli was not timid and spoke in a eloquent manner.

The doctor listened, nodded and smiled, obviously liked her answer, and after she finished speaking, he even complimented a few words.

This doctor seldom praises others, but being able to say this proves that he really appreciates this supervisor and thinks she is very smart.

When Chu Shuli was praised, she was naturally happy and restrained, and there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The student who answered the question in front of her was unwilling and gritted her teeth, as if she felt extremely ashamed of losing to a woman. He sneered, said a few words to the prisoner beside him, and nodded secretly, not knowing what he was conspiring.

During the break, they took advantage of Chu Shuli's walk out of the school and blocked people.

"Women should go back to embroidering wedding dresses, obediently wait for their parents to arrange marriage, be a good wife and a good mother, and come to Guozijian to mix things up."

"Thinking that you can answer some questions is very smart and powerful? If it wasn't for the fact that women were just allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, right? The woman asks for a wider range, can you get in? It’s so lucky, you just squeezed out other people’s places.”

“Don’t say that, women are weak, and the doctor didn’t just pick up some nice ones to take care of her. Say, otherwise, what should she do if she cried, and she has to say that we bully weak women. Tsk, look, her eyes are red."

"Haha, it looks so pretty when I cry, and it's also a bit pretty, if I go to propose a marriage, your honor I'll be very happy."

Before Chu Shuli came to Guozijian, she guessed that something similar might happen, and some people would not accept her. Although she had already made psychological preparations, she was so angry that she wanted to cry when she heard it, but once she did cry, it would make those people more happy, she tried her best to endure it, turned around and left.

Back to school.

She lowered her head, but Wen Mingyu noticed her reddened eyes as she walked quickly.

Then, those prison students walked into the academy and said loudly that women should not show up and should obey the four virtues. The insinuation was extremely obvious. Both the content and the sound are harsh and uncomfortable.

Chu Shuli clenched her fists, her body trembling with anger.

Wen Mingyu couldn't help frowning, "Shut up!"

The supervisors looked over and looked unsightly, "Wen Mingyu, do you have an opinion on what we said? These are all handed down from our ancestors. "

Wen Mingyu's face froze, and there was a bit of sternness in her always gentle eyes, "Is it right? The sage has proposed that women can participate in the imperial examination. If you are dissatisfied with the sage's decision, you can directly Go tell it, or I'll be happy to convey it for you." When

such a charge was slapped down, the faces of those people instantly turned pale, and they showed a bit of cruelty towards Wen Mingyu.

"We are just discussing what our predecessors said. Wen Mingyu, don't wrong people, but you are so eager to help Chu Shuli and protect her, do you like her?"

Wen Mingyu sneered: "To protect someone is to like her. , then when I see you fall, don't help me, or I'll have to make a rumor that I like you, which is really disgusting."

"...You!"

Wei Chen listened to the scene . The conversation was a little confusing, and he added, "Although I don't understand some things, it seems that you look down on Chu Shuli? I think she is not as good as me, but you are so much stupider than her. Where do you get your confidence?"

Shao Yan, who didn't talk much, also said: "It's really sad to gain a sense of superiority by trampling on others."

Ye Xu laughed, as if he had discovered something ridiculous, "I haven't seen such a person who doesn't know himself for a long time. The people who came in at the bottom of the assessment mocked the top ones, it's a big anecdote, how many people died of laughter when it got out." A few of

them bullied Chu Shuli just now, but now they entered the school, their classmates mocked them one by one, and their words were straightforward. Being ruthless, they forced their faces to turn blue, as if the Heavenly Spirit Cover was about to explode. Even the unspoken supervisors looked at them with disapproval and contempt. They were even more embarrassed to say anything, so they could only go back to their desks and sit down.

Chu Shuli raised her head and said seriously, "Thank you."

She looked at Wen Mingyu again, because he was the first person to speak for her, with a sincere expression on his face.

The other students all said, "It's nothing, it's their fault in the first place, what's wrong with the girl, you're so good, you're smarter than many men, they're just jealous of you."

"That's right, we are classmates, and we have scolded Yumu's brothers and sisters together!"

Everyone laughed together, Chu Shuli couldn't help laughing, and she was very fortunate that she mustered up the courage to come to the Imperial College. While there are disgusting people, there are many more good classmates.

After a day's class, Wen Mingyu returned to the Taiji Hall.

Because of the day's events, his mood is inevitably affected. However, it's not obvious, at least Sanxi and the palace people didn't see it.

But when Mu Zhan came back, he saw it at a glance.

"Unhappy?"

Wen Mingyu didn't want to say it at first, but when he heard Mu Zhan's words, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he had the desire to talk. Exposing the tender flesh that was sore inside.

He laid his hands on the table lazily, lay down, his face was facing Mu Zhan's direction, pressed on his arms, his cheeks were squeezed into a mass, and his lips were naturally pursed, revealing A little childish.

"It's in Guozijian today. Some people speak very badly and look down on women. They are obviously inferior to others. I really want to beat them up!"

Wen Mingyu recounted what happened today, and finally vented. When he wanted to beat someone, Mu Zhan nodded directly, "Then go beat him, I'll arrange it now." It's

like a bear parent who indulges a bear child.

Wen Mingyu was stunned after hearing this, "...What?"

Mu Zhan repeated it and asked, "Want to go?"

Wen Mingyu nodded subconsciously, and she was led out by Mu Zhan, and she still couldn't react. ...Emperor, take him to fight?

The Praetorian Guards disguised themselves as ordinary guards, followed them, and inquired about the routes of those people in advance.

Don't strike too hard, like a kind of warning.

Mu Zhan took Wen Mingyu to hide in the dark. When the prisoners passed through the alley during the day, Mu Zhan put a stone in Wen Mingyu's hand, then stood behind him, held his hand, and wrapped it tightly. , pinched the stone with him, found the right time, threw it out with force, and smashed it on the bend of one of the legs. When the leg became numb, the person could not control his balance, fell forward in an embarrassment, and raised his body. dust.

"You kicked me?!" The man got up and turned to stare at the person closest to him.

The other party denied it, and he didn't believe it, so he punched back, "Who else could you be? A ghost? Do you think I'm stupid? Ha?!" When there is a conflict, other people will still watch the play and fan the flames. By the end, it was all a mess.

At first, he wanted to put a sack on and beat him, but Wen Mingyu thought again, what if they blamed Chu Shuli for this, after all, a conflict had just occurred, and no matter if they were uncertain, it would not prevent them from venting their anger.

So, it was changed to a more covert approach.

Mu Zhan frowned, feeling that it was too playful and useless.

"It's better to just kill it."

Wen Mingyu shook her head quickly, which was too serious.

Mu Zhan said as a matter of course: "If you dare to discuss the decision of an orphan, you will have to pay for

it." Wen Mingyu felt, "They are at fault, but they are not guilty of death. And it is not just them, there are many people who have feelings for women. Prejudice, killing a few people can't change their views."

Mu Zhan understood Wen Mingyu's thoughts, but he was a superior person, and he thought things more ruthlessly. When a new bill is about to be implemented and encounters great resistance, the most efficient way is to scare off the opposition, and then show the benefits of the new bill in a gentle and encouraging way, so that they slowly agree and accept it.

Building on bloodshed is brutal. But to change vigorously, not to tear off a layer of flesh and blood, and wait for those old-fashioned to agree to try, I am afraid it will take hundreds of years.

Small meets big.

It looks like it's just the immature words of a few supervisors, but you can see the attitude of the family behind them.

Naturally, Mu Zhan couldn't let it go. He said that women would be allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but he didn't implement it and create a good environment. In the end, he just forced the rare female students to go home.

Mu Zhan ordered someone to give Jijiu a message, and let him see that students should not only focus on knowledge, but also on conduct. Zhao Dequan mentioned the bullying of Chu Shuli euphemistically.

Those supervising students were all invited to go home to cultivate their self-cultivation, and then take the entrance examination next year. On the surface, it sounds good, but in fact, it was dropped out of school. They were so angry that their parents even scolded that sacrificial wine for how dare, they must trouble him, until they were reminded, this is the meaning of the saint, they stopped immediately, and also grounded their son, and the whole house beat him again, Don't talk nonsense outside.

These are all for later.

At this time, Mu Zhan and Wen Mingyu took the stones together and shamed them. Seeing that the people were in a ball, Mu Zhan lowered his head and said to the person in his arms, "Are you happy?"

Wen Mingyu nodded subconsciously, and after nodding, he did something bad again. A guilty conscience, it seems immoral to see others miserable and happy. But when I think of their stinky faces in the morning, and then they beat each other with bruised noses and bruised faces, I can't help but get excited.

There are some legal reasons for Mu Zhan's handling of those prison students, but how much of it is to vent Wen Mingyu's anger and make Wen Mingyu happy, and he only knows it himself.

When he saw Wen Mingyu's happy look, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he raised his hand and touched his head.

"Go, go shopping."

Anyway, they all came out. Wen Mingyu nodded, "Okay, let's buy His Majesty's clothes."

Mu Zhan paused, then continued to walk forward.

The ready-to-wear shops in Beijing are naturally one of the best, and the styles are also very good. The disadvantage is probably that it is not as good as a tailor-made fit, but it can be changed according to the person and can be worn quickly. And the styles are rich and varied, which can be said to be one of the fashion sources of Beijing.

Wen Mingyu and Mu Zhan walked in together.

Although the two of them had dressed up and only wore regular clothes, the delicate and expensive fabrics could not escape the shopkeeper's eyes at all. It was obvious at a glance that the two were not ordinary, so they hurriedly greeted them and introduced the latest new styles.

Wen Mingyu soon had a book in his hand, with a lot of clothes on it. Due to the limited area of ​​the store, there is no way to display all of them, so it is convenient for customers to see which set they like, or bring it directly to the door.

Wen Mingyu looked at it curiously, and while looking at it, she handed the booklet to Mu Zhan and said, "Your Majesty...take a look too, which one do you like?"

Mu Zhan's eyes did not fall on it, but looked at Wen Mingyu, "You gave me a gift, shouldn't it be you who choose it?"

Wen Mingyu lowered her head and chose it carefully after thinking about it, but the store was so dazzling that it took a long time to make it. Selecting a few pieces that Wen Mingyu thought was the most beautiful, the shopkeeper took them out in person, and wanted to say that he would serve the nobleman and replace them, but the nobleman had a servant, and he didn't need his help at all.
